Marie and Mike usually vote against each other’s party in the SSC elections resulting to negating or offsetting their votes. If they vote for their party of choice, each of them gains four units of utility (and lose four units of utility from a vote against their party of choice). However, it costs each of them two units of utility for the hassle of actually voting during the SSC elections. Can you explain the scenario above?
Suppose there are three people in society who vote on whether the government should undertake specific projects. Let the net benefits of a particular project be $150, $140, and $50 for persons A, B, and C, respectively. a. If the project costs $300 and these costs are to be shared equally, would a majority vote to undertake the project? What would be the net benefits to each person under such a scheme? Would total net benefits be positive? b. Suppose the project cost $375 and again costs were to be shared equally. Now would a majority vote for the project and total net benefits be positive? c. Suppose (presumably contrary to fact) votes can be bought and sold in a free market. Describe what kinds of results you might expect in part a and part b.
Supposing we grant the superiority of free market economic over other economic theories, do you think that ethical egoism ultimately justifies this economic theory? Or does some other ethical theory better justify it? Justify your answer with reasons,.
Kayla and Kevin are friends who go together to a used textbook seller who has two copies ofthe biology book that they both need for their class this semester. The cost to the seller ofacquiring the books was $25 each and no other students will need this book. Kayla states thatshe is willing to pay $40 for the book, while Kevin says he is willing to pay $80. Which ofthe following describes the most likely conclusion to this scenario? Group of answer choices The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $40 each because if they tried tocharge Kevin a higher price, Kayla would engage in arbitrage. The seller will sell one book to Kayla for $40 and one book to Kevin for $80 because thismarket meets all three requirements for price discrimination. The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $80 each because Kevin's highervalue exceeds Kayla's willingness to pay. The seller will sell the books to both Kayla and Kevin for $25 each because that is howmuch the…
Two staff managers in the ΠBΦ sorority, the house manager (player 1) and kitchen manager (player 2), must select a resident assistant from a poolof three candidates: {a, b, c}. Player 1 prefers a to b, and b to c. Player 2 prefers b to a, and a toc. The process that is imposed on them is as follows: First, the house manager vetoes one of thecandidates and announces the veto to the central office for staff selection and to the kitchenmanager. Next the kitchen manager vetoes one of the remaining two candidates and announcesit to the central office. Finally the director of the central office assigns the remaining candidateto be a resident assistant at ΠBΦ.a. Model this as an extensive-form game (using a game tree). You will need to define theutilities of both players.b. Find the subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium (or equilibria) for this game. Is it unique?c. Now assume that before the two players play the game, player 2 can send an alienatinge-mail to one of the candidates, which would…
Consider three individuals with the following preferences: Suppose the following dynamic voting protocol is in effect: first, there is a vote between a and b; then the winner goes against c; and the winner of this contest will be implemented. Focus on SPE where voters do not use “weakly dominated” strategies at any stage. (a) Show that these preferences are single peaked, but sincere voting is not equilibrium behavior. (b) Characterize the SPE of this game under strategic voting by all players. (c) Consider a generalization in which the society H consists of H individuals and there are finite number of policies, R = {p1, p2,...,pM}. For simplicity, suppose that H is an odd number. Voting takes M − 1 stages. In the first stage, there is a vote between p1 and p2. In the second stage, there is a vote between the winner of the first stage and p3, until we have a final vote against pM. The winner of the final vote is the policy choice of the society. Prove that if…
Please tell follwoing sentence is True or False? Explain in 5-6 sentence only Chay and Greenstone (2003a) use cross-county differences in changes in pollution induced by the 1981-82 recession to estimate the effect of air pollution on infant mortality. If counties with big pollution declines also experience dramatic drops in population (because households move to counties with better economic opportunities), relative to counties without pollution declines, this could generate bias in their estimates.
Which of the following is true? a. Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem states that There is no voting method that will satisfy a reasonable set of fairness criteria when there are three or candidates. b. Gibbard-Satterthwaite's theorem states that there is a voting method is completely resistant to strategic voting. c. None of the given choices d. May's Theorem states that the majority method will always have a winner.

Suppose Andy is now allowed to be noisy if he chooses, but Barb has a liability right to collect damages for any harms she bears from the noise. Note that if she has earplugs, she does not bear any harms from the noise, so she will only be paid if Andy operates noisily and she does not wear earplugs (she is not paid any damages for wearing earplugs). In the absence of bargaining, Barb will a. do nothing b. wear earplugs Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
Consider the following statement: “I examined the statistics for our basketball team’s wins last year and found that, when the third team played more, the winning margin increased. If the coach played the third team more, we would win by a bigger margin.” Which of the following applies to this statement? This statement exemplifies the post hoc ergo propter hoc (“after this, therefore because of this”) fallacy, whereby association is confused with causation. This statement is correct because third teams always win by larger margins in basketball games. This statement is correct. If the coach had played the third team more often, the winning margin would have increased. The statement is logical and exhibits no fallacy.

Utilitarianism is a moral theory that chooses the greatest good to society but does not mean the greatest good for the greatest number of people. 4. According to Rawls's “social justice” theory, a person who is in a state of "veil of ignorance" is best fit to select the fairest possible ethical principles. Please help, & thank you!
